Support libtics.org by sharing, tweeting, posting, linking to, talking about, etc., https://libtics.org. This site will be most useful if it has an active community making suggestions about its development. Register for the forum on Zulip (from the Resources menu in the top right).

This material takes time and effort to develop, maintain and host, so if you use this material then you might wish to have your institution make a financial contribution supporting the project.

  • An institution could contribute whatever is appropriate for the use they are making of the resource. If you have people using the resource then perhaps consider how much it might cost to develop, maintain and host this sort of facility in-house. Or to send people on external courses, or have consultants/trainers come in to teach your people. Contributions will enable me to develop, improve, and maintain this material. A regular monthly or annual contribution would be best in terms of stability.

  • Any contributions (not the amount) will be acknowledged on this site, unless you don’t want that. Get in touch if you would like to make a contribution.

I am available to provide consultancy services in library analytics ranging from developing custom analytics, to custom in house training, to adding specific materials and examples to the libtics.org material.

Should libtics.org become successful, with an engaged community, then some sort of long term governance will need to be decided upon and implemented. Maybe something along the lines of the Software Carpentries ideas. It seems a long way off at the moment. This governance will be decided on within the community at the time.

This material is released under a Creative Commons license. The first release of material was developed during a consultancy engagement with the University of Leeds.

Personally, my motivations are: I’m looking for part-time (I’m somewhat retired) work and some small income and to maintain some sort of professional engagement in the field. I very much enjoyed working with the University of Leeds on the project from which the first version of this site is derived. I’d hoped to work a little closer with the IGeLU Analytics working group but I was being naive. Understandably, as I’m no longer at Lancaster I am acting as a vendor for this material and as such can’t receive some sort of preferential access.

Please get in touch if you have any thoughts on this project, its structure, viability or content. Hopefully, people will find this useful enough that this project does not become abandonware.

Take care,
John
